Baba taught that greed is a fundamental and powerful obstacle to spiritual realization. As Chapter 17 explains, he once told a gentleman to "Roll up your bundle of Brahman," clarifying that "unless greed is completely destroyed, you will not find Brahman." The text emphasizes that greed and Brahman have an eternal enmity. If even a small amount of greed resides in the heart, it can nullify all spiritual practices and prevent any sense of peace, satisfaction, or certainty. For those whose minds are obsessed with wealth and worldly possessions, attaining the knowledge of Brahman is deemed impossible until the obstacle of money is fully removed.
